| - I came from Pittsburgh to experience the fabulous food show at the I/X center this weekend, Saturday to be exact. I had come to this event last year as well and I think this year was just as positive. Several celebrity chefs were there-Tyler Florence,Carla Hall,Michael Symon to name a few. They did cooking demonstrations that were cool to watch. This is a huge venue that houses a ton of vendors for events like this. At the front was a craft fair that was free admission. In the center was the Beer pavilion The beer pavilion was cool-$15 could get you six samples of beer,wine,liquor in any combo you wanted. I tried some great Ontario beers and some wonderful five finger lake region wines. The food trucks ranged from tacos to german fare to sliders to a truck specializing in risotto balls. I sampled a beef brisket slider that was tasty. Tickets were $2 each and most food items were between 2 and 4 tickets. All of the vendors were set up in the middle to offer samples or explain their products. Highlights for myself included: Yuengling pulled pork, Daisy cakes (chocolate cake,carrot cake,and red velvet-delish icing),Heavenly Dips (shrimp cocktail dip is amazing), Cleveland Jams (jam made with GLB beer),and Graeter's ice cream.This is a great event each year and I'm already looking forward to next year!
